Method-Supported Product Development for Post-series Supply

摘要

The increased use of innovative components like electronics is a present trend in several branches of industry. These components are characterized by short innovation cycles, but are often assembled in primary products, which have a comparatively long life span. The post-series supply is therefore a relevant problem. Today the focus of product development lies on small expenses in the serial production, a consideration of life cycle costs with regard to the post-series supply does not take place. This behavior often results in high financial burden. Before this background the product development with consideration of the requirements of the post-series-supply offers high potentials. To reduce the complexity of this problem a methodical approach is needed.
